A young female police officer was seriously wounded on Monday when a Palestinian Arab terrorist stabbed her in the neck just outside Jerusalem’s Old City.

The 20-year-old victim was stationed at Herod’s Gate when the terrorist snuck up behind her and began stabbing. An older male police officer was also stabbed, but managed to open fire on the terrorist and critically wounded him.

Additional forces were called in to secure the area. Israeli officials are increasingly concerned over the fresh wave of terrorist stabbings with the autumn biblical festivals just weeks away.
